Next time you pick an iron from your bag to play your shot, pause for a moment and study the product you have in your hand. First, look at the design and it’s fit for purpose, then check out the detail and the finish. See how perfectly weighted it is and how comfortable it feels when you address the ball. It’s no accident that the club not only looks great but will perform and deliver even with all of the variants that make up a golf swing.

This didn’t just happen overnight, thousands of man hours and a huge investment by the manufacturer has produced this magic wand that you are now gripping in your hands.

One of the most famous Brands for producing such golf clubs is Mizuno and I was lucky enough to fly down to Japan to discover and record the complete manufacturing process from start to finish.

The complete story will soon feature in Golf Monthly, it will cover the culture, traditions and History of an amazing country and one of it’s top companies. Needless to say it will be a fascinating insight into a Brand who’s products are know and favoured world wide, I for one can’t wait to read it.
